    Last time I had to monitor GDI handles was Win9x. Back to the roots MS? :D

    Running in separate processes is an option I tick by default for a very long time. Two small remarks for the folks:
    1. You will have multiple Explorer.exe processes in Task Manager. Completely normal.
    2. Due to its nature, separate process feature uses slightly more memory.

    Fixed it by pressing "Use default", applied changes, then restarted IE and the page was finally gone, then I changed back to my favourite about:blank.

    I need some assistance from one of the DISM gurus here if you have a moment, please.

    Particularly, I would like to change to Scratch directory specifically with regards to Windows 10 Tech Preview (build 9888). Currently dismhost.exe runs everytime Windows starts up, from a randomly named directory within C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp and also C:\Windows\Temp. I would for it not to run from within the User profile's Temp directory. Only from C:\Windows\Temp.

    I have followed several tutorials online but most related to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and therefore I haven't been able to successfully change it on this Windows 10 build. Also note, I am looking to change it directly on the live system, not an image.

    Thank you for your time, always much appreciated. MDL is the king! :cool:

    Scratch dir would be kinda this:

    Code:
    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:"d:\wim\install.wim" /index:%index% /mountdir:"d:\wim\mount" /scratchdir:"C:\Windows\Temp"

    If they came up with a deal where you always had the latest updated OS for a fair price, Office, if you wanted it, price based on what features you use, Outlook, Excel, Word, etc., you'd have a situation no different that cable TV or cell phone service. The "fair" price would be he sticking point I suspect.

    Thank you, s1ave77.

    Instead of simply copying and pasting to get things done, I also try my best to learn along the way and like to get an understanding of how things work. So I might have a question or two for you, if you don't mind.

    With regards to "d:\wim\install.wim" and "d:\wim\mount", is the drive letter (d: in this case) referring to the installation media, which in my case would be a bootable USB stick? Or just the same, I assume that I could mount the ISO image within explorer and reference that drive letter as well, is that correct?

    The best thing Microsoft could do if they move to a subscription based model in Windows 10 is provide a Full Package of all subscription based software including; Windows 10, Office 2013, Skype, XBOX One, No Ads on Outlook.com...

    Regarding the keyboard LED lights, does anyone know if enabling the Microsoft Keyboard Filter service (disabled by default) helps in that situation?
    I do not have a keyboard with LED lights to test this.

    You can test it with your CAPlock, Numlock LED,etc.

    Hmm, so I'm on 9888 atm. So far my only two real issues were activation and installing .NET 3.5; both solved (former with KMSpico; latter with DISM command).

    Is there any other issues I should expect? Been installing software and games for an hour now without any issue. Two games that gave me a bit of trouble on 9879 even work better on 9888 (could also be because of the new 14.12 AMD driver though).
